Actually a friend of mine had the real ball of Ichiros first hit and the footage of him getting it. You have a foul ball from the bat boy. He was going to auction it off but his kids use it to play catch with their friends. Last I heard they lost it in a pond. What a waste. Itwas only a ball, who cares?
